re: Will Missouri try and bolster their baseball program?

I can't see why there would be much interest in putting a bunch of money into baseball. It's one of the few SEC big sports that is greatly effected by weather and Columbia is where it is. I don't think there's any real effect from the professional baseball in Missouri, baseball is likely never going to be a revenue producer. The weather during early baseball season stinks; the game is falling in popularity nationwide, and especially with young people, and it just doesn't have the background at the school to maintain a level of support.

I suspect there will be some investment to get the program respectable, but I don't see a major push to start winning national championships. Especially when so many other programs at Mizzou need investment as well.

Maybe if they lighten up on the drinking and put in some sort of party patio or something for students and fans it could pick up. That's not an unusual thing at any level in baseball, though. Minor league teams and even the MLB teams are concentrating more on the fan experience than anything else in an effort to keep attendance up. Mizzou is no different than some small arse farm club trying to keep people interested, except there's no beer or fireworks nights.
